Great shot, I love these fruits!
Years ago when I taught in an English prison I gave one of these to each man in my class to write about as they hadn't seen them before - I explained that they are called "physalis". Later in the session my manager came in and was informed by one of the prisoners that I had given him "syphilis" - needless to say my manager looked a little shocked until I explained the incorrect pronunciation... :)
@nicknac@onewing This is done on a piece of black Perspex.. I usually surround it with black velvet but I did not with this shot I like the smoky look rather than the very black look.. hope this helps,., thank you for your comments.
beautifully done, Julia. Love that you have classed them up with a reflective surface. I must remember to try a get some of these to photograph and they are yummy too - so nice added to fresh fruit salad.
A fav.
P.S. Where do you manage to get smoked glass from (I've searched high and low for suppliers to no avail!).
